Monday Mystery, L Hugoniot-Tissot pliers

Here's a unusual set of small pliers, the jaws with wire cutting notch are ordinary, the bend of the handles are further out than normal, L Hugoniot-Tissot is known for their jewelry and watchmaking tools, maybe a specific job requires this specific handle shape?

  1. I found one catalog online; the artwork is wonderful. I'd say it's an earlier relative of the Number 8:

  3. Catalog is spectacular, thanks for posting the link. Boy I wish I read French: half of those tools, I can't imagine their purpose.
